Psalms 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
In heaven all the saints there along with all the angels are praising God the Father and His Son, Jesus. Although we can't hear it with our ears, all of creation is praising the Creator. We are called upon to join in the great praise chorus. Thank You Father for loving us so much that You sent Your only Son to die the death we deserved on the cross. Thank You Jesus, for Your willingness to come and take our sin upon Yourself. Thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to empower us to live the Christian life.

Psalms 102:12
But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever;
your renown endures through all generations.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
The Psalmist was crying out to God, and not seeing any immediate answers, yet he never lost his hope. He was comforted to know that God was on His throne and has a plan. He was comforted to know that God was at work whether he saw it or not. He was still amazed at the glory and majesty of God. He also knew that God would keep His promises. What a lesson for us!

Psalms 99:2
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
The God of Israel is great because He is the Creator. He is great because He sent His only Son to take care of the sin of all of us. He is great because He hears our prayers. He is great because He gave us His Word. He is great because He has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us. He is great because He is a God of mercy and grace. May all peoples lift up His holy name!

Psalms 97:1
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
We can be confident of this, the Lord reigns! This truth should calm our hearts no matter what we may be facing. Our lives may seem out of control at times, but God is still on His throne. He is always at work working out His plan and purposes. Nothing can separate us from His love. No one can pluck us out of His hand. Thank You, Lord for Your tender mercies toward me. Help me to trust You no matter what I'm facing knowing that You are on Your throne!

Psalms 98:9
let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
Isaac Watts was inspired to write the hymn, Joy to the World based on this psalm. Although we sing it at Christmas it was written looking forward to Jesus' second coming. When He returns he will come as the judge. He being God knows all things. He is a righteous Judge and He will make all things right. He will restore the earth back to its original splendor before Adam's sin. Come Lord Jesus!

Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
Thanks to Jesus Christ, we have much to sing praise for. Not only did He die the death I deserved, but He rose from the dead to give me the gift of eternal life! Did I deserve it? Absolutely not, but in His love He gave me what I didn't deserve! Lord, fill my heart with praise for You, and make me like the shepherds at Your birth, who went everywhere telling what they had seen and heard!

Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
God is holy! How can God, who is perfectly holy have any dealings with sinners like us? The simple answer is GRACE! Jesus took care of our sin once and for all on the cross, which allows us to have a relationship with Him. Through the help of the Holy Spirit we can live lives that are pleasing to Him. Thank You, Jesus for loving us so much that You would be willing to die the death we deserved and give us the gift of everlasting life!

And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
Israel failed to follow God's Word and paid the price. This is true of us as individuals as well. Lord help me to be obedient to You! "Obedience is the very best thing. To show that you believe."

Leviticus 17:6
The priest is to splash the blood against the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
Terry J.
Terry J. from Hinsdale, NY said:
How much blood was splashed on the altar over the years? The blood of bulls and goats couldn't take sin away. It only covered it until the blood of the Lamb of God would finally take sin away for good. "Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." (Hebrews 10:14)
